OMITTED TEXT. And there was one man there for thirty-eight years in his infirmity. When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to get well?" "Sir," answered the sick man, "I have no man to put me into the pool whenever the water is troubled; and while I am trying to come, some one else steps down before me." "Rise," said Jesus, "take up your bed and go walking away." Instantly the man became well, and he took up his bed and started to walk. Now it was Sabbath on that day; so the Jews kept saying to the man who had been cured. "It is the Sabbath Day; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed." He replied, "The man who healed me told me to take up my bed and walk." "Who is it," they asked, "that said to you, 'take up your bed and go walking away'?" But he who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had moved away, as there was a crowd in that place. Afterward Jesus found him in the Temple, and said to him. "Look! You have become well. Do not go on sinning, lest a worse thing befall you." The man went to and told the Jews that it was Jesus who made him well; and because of this the Jews began to persecute Jesus, because he had done it on the Sabbath.
